This is urgent and I need your help.

Doug Ford is rushing Bill 33 and Bill 60 through — they're one vote away from becoming law and could pass as soon as tomorrow.

I just emailed my MPP to vote NO. Will you join me? OntarioNDP.ca/stop-the-attack

It takes 2 minutes and it matters.

It's that time of year again, welcome back to school kiddos! This week we're going to address Toronto's back to school/micro mobility campaign & ask that they direct all available resources at dangerous drivers who cause hundreds of serious injuries & deaths each year in TO. 📷 @tomflood.bsky.social

So: the “Protect Bathurst / Dufferin” astroturf campaign run by Summerhill Market had videos of a guy talking about the neighborhood & RapidTO proposal. Real grassroots feel. Took a screenshot & put it into google image search. Guess what?

Said it before, I will say it again. Whatever the Premier says, this is not transportation policy. It's an dogmatic position on who has the right to use public space and how. www.thestar.com/politics/pro...
Doug Ford’s budget will target more Toronto bikes lanes
Sources say Thursday's provincial budget legislation will include the removal of the bike lanes on Queen's Park Crescent, around the legislative precinct, and on Avenue Road south of Davenport Road.

The reason I know that Pierre Poilievre is lying about why he refuses to apply for the normal security check to receive the normal security clearance for anyone in his position, is the fact that he started his answer with the part (see below) that was literally the easiest to fact check as a lie.
Pierre Poilievre was asked in the #LeadersDebate why he still refuses to get the normal security check & clearance. Poilievre lied as usual in his answer, starting with the lie that he “already got one so there’s no problem with that.”

10 years ago.

That’s not how clearances work and he knows it.
Reminder: Pierre Poilievre STILL refuses to apply for the normal, usual security clearance, the Canadian media is STILL under-reporting that, and I’m STILL choosing to assume under these dangerous and scary circumstances that it’s because he knows that he wouldn’t pass the security check.

David Brooks described politicians as rippers or weavers.

Poilievre described as Ripper - sees politics as war & doesn't care about the destruction in the fight for power. Bourrie's book - PP poised to capitalize on conflict.

Weavers try to fix things, bring people together, try to build consensus

This excellent video is the manifesto to addressing Canada’s most pressing crises.

It’s time for an ABUNDANT Canada that’s:
- able to build at scale, quickly
- less parochial and can embrace global best practice (EU/Asia/SA)
- willing to put material outcomes, not process, as the FIRST priority

USAID provides everything from humanitarian assistance and global health interventions to education and conflict prevention.

As climate change impacts ramp up (about 30% of which are the result of cumulative US emissions) these efforts have become ever more critical.
Why does Musk want USAID 'to die'? And why did its website disappear?
Under the Trump administration, the U.S. agency that funds aid projects has faced layoffs, a stop action order for most aid efforts and a disruption of its website. Now Elon Musk says it should 'die.'
